Thread: UK to revert to Imperial Measurements?

Either way, it would seem that I have your measure, in whichever system it might be.

Just my weird sense of humour oh and you will never get my measure either

You'd better find another calculator Brett . When I went to school one mile was 1.609344 KILLO-metres! . No, no, wait a minute, there were no kil-LOM-eaters when I went to school.

Now that's just being picky. Mile High Club still sounds better though.
Actually it was the result of a rubbish equation I created in Excel, copy & paste without thinking or checking.

And what's wrong with the 1 6o9 club?

When it comes to drinking, is the pint British or American? 1 UK pint = 1.2 US pints = 0.568 litres.
We have the same problem with gallons.
Either way too much and you are P & D.
